Solar farms need much better design input than Cleve Hill

摘要

Former RIBA councillor Bob Giles makes a good point about the huge new solar development, Cleve Hill Solar Park, on the North Kent coast: where is the architecture? Presumably there is a landscape architect, though I failed to find out who it is from a review of the various websites associated with the project and its announcement. The title page of drawings in the planning inspectorate report shows the names of the promoters and their financial backer. Presumably there is a designer somewhere who had something to do with it.
